Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, the usually relatively quiet Red Dwarf Twitter account announced this:
#RedDwarf #RedDwarfReborn@realrobgrant @DougRDNaylor @CCfunkandsoul Chris Barrie @DannyJohnJules @bobbyllew @normanlovett1 Hattie Hayridge @Tordfc pic.twitter.com/LQH9LPgWRB

The statement read:
“Rob Grant and Doug Naylor are delighted to announce that the ongoing dispute over the Red Dwarf rights has been resolved.
Moving onwards and upwards, Rob and Doug hope to launch separate iterations of Red Dwarf across various media, working again with the cast and other valued partners, and wish each other the very best.
Smoke a kipper, Red Dwarf will be back for breakfast!!” (sic)
This came as a bit of a bolt from the blue, particularly among anyone who hadn’t been closely following the show since its last special, ‘The Promised Land’, in 2020.

As series Xii arrives online this week, we count down twenty of the best Red Dwarf episodes from across the show's long history...
Putting together a list of the Top 20 episodes of Red Dwarf presented an unusual challenge. The truth is, there’s barely a bum note in the first 36 episodes (Series I – VI) and then it’s a case of finding the quality episodes among the less successful half hours in the following 31 (Series VII – XI). The most accurate ‘top 20’ would be composed almost entirely of episodes from those first 36. However, for this list, we’ve resisted the urge to simply list most of the first six series and have deliberately ensured that this selection covers a reasonable span of the show, with every series except IX represented somewhere. This way, we can offer a more balanced overview of the whole history of the show, and...

Twenty seven years, umpteen light years, several different realities and a curry monster later, and Red Dwarf is now officially the second longest running sci-fi series of all time (it'd be first if it weren't for that pesky Doctor).
But though the Dwarf is still with us, fans have been left adrift in space for the time being – it's been three years since the show's triumphant return to form with 2012's Series X, and it'll likely be another year before series 11 hits Dave.
Making it, therefore, as good a time as any for Digital Spy to decide definitely how those ten series stack up against each other, and rank them from truly worst to glorious best. Disagree? Let us know below...
10. Back to Earth
After so many years away, the fans finally got their way - this time via Dave rather than the Beeb. And what arrived was the Back to Earth special,...

It’s a tricky thing, mashing together genres. Whether it’s horror, romance, westerns, or in this case, sci-fi and comedy, you have to find just the right balance of each to make it work. Too much of one element will cause the whole product to fall apart. Somehow, back in the eighties, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor made it work when they created Red Dwarf, a tale of Dave Lister (Craig Charles), a slacker who winds up on a mining vessel (in the novels he ended up stranded on one of Jupiter’s moons after a night of heavy drinking, and signed on to get the money to get back to Earth). Due to insubordination, Lister winds up in stasis while everyone else on board is killed in an accident. Three million years later he is released with only the hologram of his dead bunkmate Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), who Lister detests,...

Stars from the British sitcom 'Allo 'Allo are to reunite at the Spring Memorabilia Show at the NEC this weekend (March 26 to 27).
Cast members from the series, which aired on BBC1 from 1982 to 1992, will be at the event on both days to host panels, meet fans, sign autographs and pose for photographs.
Conceived as a parody of wartime drama Secret Army, the classic comedy took place in a French town occupied by the Germans during World War 2 - complete with a cast of Resistance agents, incompetent Nazis, bemused Raf airmen, buxom French beauties and a linguistically-challenged British spy.
Those attending the convention include Guy Siner (who played effete panzer commander Lieutenant Hubert Gruber), Richard Gibson (dastardly Gestapo officer Herr Otto Flick), Arthur Bostrom (Rugby's vowel-mangling spy Officer Crabtree), Kirsten Cooke (local resistance leader Michelle Dubois), Kim Hartman (Herr Flick's love interest Private Helga Geerhart), John D Collins (downed Raf airman...
